The Washington Huskies will have their final practice this afternoon before a walk-through Friday and the opening kickoff Saturday at 12:30 p.m. at Husky Stadium.

According to Vegas.com, the Huskies are 18 1/2-point favorites over the San Jose State Spartans.

The Huskies haven’t been such runaway favorites to win a game in two years. Last year, Vegas.com listed UW as a 13 1/2-point favorite over Idaho. They won 34-6 and easily covered the spread. It actually was two seasons ago versus San Jose State that UW was a 17 1/2-point favorite. The Huskies won that one 21-6 but failed to cover.

Coach Tyrone Willingham doesn’t care about the betting lines, of course. He actually hopes that none of his players is even thinking about the terms “favorites” and “underdog.”

“Honestly, I am hoping it doesn’t matter. It sounds so simplistic of me to describe it in this manner, but I’m hoping that the attitude and approach of our football team is that we just ask that they have another color jersey on. That’s all, just don’t wear the same one we’re wearing and we’ll be happy,” Willingham said.

“That’s the approach of a football player — we don’t care who we play, it’s an opportunity to go out and play your best. If it’s San Jose State, if it’s Idaho, if it’s USC, it doesn’t matter, let’s go play. It doesn’t make any difference, let’s play,” he said.

“If we bring that approach it doesn’t matter whether you’re an underdog, whether you’re a favorite, you’re coming out to play great football every time you step out on that field because you have that type of pride. … It shouldn’t matter whether you are a favorite or whether you are an underdog. If you want to get technical about it, I think those odds are usually not set necessarily by winning, but to make money for someone,” he said.

Saturday’s game will not be televised, neither live nor via replay. However, UW sent out a release Wednesday evening that announced that every game will be available to watch online on GoHuskies.com for free.
